    hi everyone um this is difficult to admit but I'm ftm. I've been thinking about it for like 9 months and I've finally had to say yes, I'm trans. I feel stressed but liberated.

    Congratulations on admitting it to yourself! I'm sure everyone on EC will be here if you need any further support, but this is a massive step!

    Admitting it is often the hardest part of the process. After That, you can decide the path that you want to take in regards to coming out and transitioning. Congrats on the big step :slight_smile:

    Congrats! The best thing to do is admit it to yourself, as many people may try and deny it. However, the first step (in my experience) is always the hardest so well done!

    Nothing wrong with broing out. I feel guilty still even though I like it. But then girls bro out too. Everyone Bros out in a non gender specific way.

    Anyways... be happy with you. That's all.

    I'm here because I like the thread title. Reminds me of when I was a child trying to prove my "dudeness". Also congrats on figuring yourself out! I've been thinking for a while too and I'm still super confused.
    Stressed but liberated... that's how I felt when I realized I'm into girls. Also love the name Mason by the way.

    damn, that would've made a good senior quote! I always think of "broing out" as a whoever wants to can (sis-ing out sounds a bit too odd to catch on). :confused:

    Well yea. It's non gender specific even if traditionally practiced by males. Women bro out real hard... I've been involved from both sides of the field in broing out. We are all the same. It's more specifically having a good time.
